Falling

On February 3, the crew of the International Space Station will “launch” a new project. They’ll be jettisoning a space suit equipped with sensors and a radio transmitter so that amateur radio operators can track it while it falls.

Cast & crew

I’ve been working, semi-half assedly, on a cast page for the webcomic. It seems kind of silly to identify cast members for what is basically a gag-a-day non-story based strip, but there are some recurring characters.

The Wife Guest Blog Part II: Walking in a Winter Wonderland

I wonder how many characters the blog titles will take? Anyone care to take wagers? I’ve got two more blog entries to guest write, we can make it an experiment!

The Wife Guest Blog

Hi all! It’s day 4 of the December blog a day challenge and this is your Sunday guest reviewer boo!

It’s the William Tell overture

You know where the Lone Ranger takes his garbage right?

To the dump, to the dump, to the dump-dump-dump!
